The Latest News & Updates

Our Customer Projects page shows things folks have done using some of our materials. If you have built a boat, a race car, a model airplane, anything at all that might be of interest, and you would like to show it off, please send a short description of the project and a photo. We would like to include a few words about you, the builder, at minimum who you are and where you live. If you have a personal web page describing your project we would include a link to that. For our business customers we will highlight one product of your choice and provide a link to your web page for more information on this or other products. How about someone offering something new for us to post?

Corrections & Additions

We no longer carry vinylester or polyester resins, NPG gelcoat, Acetone, or MEKP. These products were in declining demand and are expensive to ship. Hence our Resins page has been removed. The pigments and metal flake, which were on that page, are now on the WEST System epoxy page. Canoe and kayak enthusiasts are using West System G/flex epoxy with very good results. The PVA mold release, which was also on the Resins page, is now on the Miscellaneous page. We have retained our information pages on resins and mekp.

Graphite Fabrics

We have a good supply of style 94901-50" graphite, the 5.7 oz plain weave, and a good supply style 94933-50" graphite, the 6.2 oz twill weave. We also have 94905-50" Kevlar/graphite hybrid in stock. All of these styles are BGF first-quality fabrics. Please check the Graphite page for additional information.

We have style 1016-1.5" unidirectional tape also listed on the Graphite page. Once current stock is depleted the price is expected to increase. We are out of the 1016-3" uni graphite at this time.

Kevlar® Fabrics

The Kevlar aerospace seconds that we have traditionally carried have been very scarce. We have style 285-50" Kevlar with minor weaving flaw, due to the slightly wavy leno edge, we have not seen flaws in the middle of the fabric. We also have style 120-38" Kevlar seconds with minor weaving flaws. We have first quality style 500 Kevlar in 50" and 58" widths, style 281-50" Kevlar, and style 220-54" Kevlar. Please see pricing on our Kevlar page.

S-Glass Seconds

We have Style 6781-50" S-glass seconds with minor weaving flaws listed at the bottom of our Fiberglass page. We have not seen any of these minor flaws circled with blue marks as in the past. We also have first quality 6781-50" S-glass. We have 6781-38" in first quality fabric made with T-glass that tests 10-20% stronger than the S-glass. We have style 6580-61" first quality S-glass. The 6781 is made with a “direct-sized” yarn that does not require heat cleaning and finishing after weaving.

Mold Construction

We get occasional inquiries from people wanting to have a mold constructed. If you are in that line of work we will be happy to refer these people to you. It would be good to have several such sources in different regions of the country. Let us know if you are interested.

Canoeing River Guides

Please contact us for more information on anything on these web pages. Let us know if you find any broken links or other errors or have difficulties of any kind using the site. We have designed a site with minimal graphics so it will download quickly for those out in the boonies at the end of a long copper wire but we also want it to be user friendly. Suggestions Welcome!

Here's our vacation schedule. Please note that we are typically closed for a week in the Spring, early August, and again at the end of the year.We are closed regular U.S. holidays.
